Also, when deer overpopulate, they kill the moose. Deer carry a worm that isn't harmful to them, but comes out in their poops. It gets into the moose' food, then once consumed makes its way to the moose' brain and kills it. When the deer aren't overpopulated, there is far less occurrences of this. It also expands the wolf population, since there is more food, which also shrinks the moose population. Also, rabbits are great in stew.
